I see we’re playing Islander hockey again. I’m so sick of this team being trash.

Deep down we knew it was happening once Tavares left for at least a season.

This is a total team shit show but yes it's totes the 4th line

 

[Islesfan22]

Yea you are right. Tanner Fritz at center would have turned that period around in a heartbeat.

Gionta is washed up but I know we can’t criticize any move Lou or Trots make as they know everything about hockey. Keep drinking the Kool aide on everything they do.

 

[Lame Lambert]

Can MSG shut the f*** up about Gionta? The guy is awful.

 

[islesfan186]

Well, I've had my fill of this game. Night all

 

[Uncle Duke]

And, I'm guessing Nville got wind of all the "Islanders outplayed us last game" talk, which wasn't true by the way, and thought they would show them what is what.

Good evaluation game here to see who has heart and good test for Lee and the leadership group. Don't expect a win but let's clean this **** up.

Yup. First signs of a bottom 5 team, first adversity of the season. A lot of data for Trotz and LL.

I give them the benefit of the doubt being off for 5 days, that said, not enough of an excusable factor to play that flat and sloppy.

The Kool Aid is back! That didn't take long. Good thing I'm thirsty. I think we're winning the Stanley Cup this year.

Lou must GO!

Love posts like this.

Let me guess you're one of those "hickey's not so bad, just reduce his minutes/change his partner/don't put him out against the other team's 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 9th lines, and he'll be GREAT, I promise you...."

He sucks, has sucked for years, and despite being a FA - drew ZERO interest.

 

[Islesfan22]

I’d take Fritz over Gionta at this point. People **** on Cizikas, but he is consistent and very good at his role

Cizikas can skate and is a gritty player who can chip in some goals. Perfect fourth line center.

 

[Chardo]

Are they flat or just severely overmatched

 

[ThreeLeftSkates]

I’m not a fan of Lee and Nelson on the same line

I am not a fan of Nelson on any line.

We’re playing a team that’s at a different level, what did you think was going to happen.

The Preds are fast and very skilled, did we forget they made it to the finals two seasons ago.

 

[nystromshairstylist]

I have 2 monitors connected to my pc and have the NYI on one and the TML game on the other, with the sound from the NYI playing. The difference in hockey IQ, talent and ability between the two teams is like comparing the Mineola lady mites to the 1972 Red Army team. The NYI need a complete roster overhaul, and soon.

Five days off didn’t really help, but man the d looked lost. Hickey, Pelech, and even Pulock making poor decision.

 

[Islesfan22]

The Kool Aid is back! That didn't take long. Good thing I'm thirsty. I think we're winning the Stanley Cup this year.

Glad to see your so optimistic. Keep drinking that Kool Aide baby helps with last 30 years of ineptitude at least.

 

[MJF]

But Kovar

 

[nystromshairstylist]

I'm giving them a few minutes of the 2nd, if they don't show a complete change in effort/hustle level, I'm replacing the game with the Ducks or some other game. Lord do I love the internet.

No I’m one of those “I’m going to watch this team for the rest of my life no matter what players we have.”

Seeing how Hickey just signed a new deal, don’t think you can say the same.

 

[Bones45]

I can never quit this place

 

[13th Floor]

I expect a good response here.

 

[SI90]

Nashville might have the best crowd and chants in the NHL.

 

[13th Floor]

Looks like Beau, Nelson, Eberle.

 

[Islesfan22]

Geez even Barzal is falling down with nodody touching him
